Sunset's final line is a bit off: for her magic shouldn't be weird (Sunset was raised in a culture with magic as a everyday thing).

Other than that, funny piece.

6484559 Thanks. But just because someone is used to something they still can admit it's weird.

Needs a bit of editing for common homophone problems.

For what it's worth, both Sunset and Twilight were probably suffering from severe psychotic episodes during their transformation. They had a greatly diminished ability to think rationally, make ethical choices and plan ahead. All they had was vague idea of what they wanted but very little forethought and subtlety about how to get it. They were just going to smash everything standing between them and their goals and make all the people who they felt had 'wronged' them suffer. The limit of their complexity to achieve those goals was 'throw fireballs and/or raw magical energy around'.

Mad evil is physically dangerous in the immediate crisis but rarely threatening in the long run because it can't plan ahead very well. It's sane, contemplative and pre-planning evil like Chrysalis or Starlight Glimmer that's really threatening as a long-term cause of danger.

“Yeah, honestly I never saw the appeal, granted never considered my dark self to be a nihilist.”
“Hey you didn’t like the world very much, so why bother keeping it?” Sunset shrugged.
“True….True.”

Laughed so hard at this part! Great work!
